Trustees & Admin Want Downsizing–Join the Fight Back!
At last Thursday’s Board of Trustees meeting, David Martin finally admitted something AFT and CFT have been saying for a long time: It would be illegal for the District to assign part-time faculty to replace laid-off full-time faculty. He specifically said that the District will not assign part-timers as replacements.
His words clearly show the meaning of these layoffs: Downsizing. David is not planning to replace expensive workers with cheaper workers. He plans to remove faculty, and therefore to remove classes and services.
AFT 2121 will hold an Emergency General Membership Meeting this Wednesday, 3/2, at 2pm to discuss and plan next steps in your campaign to fight these layoffs and grow back your college. This meeting is in addition to our regularly scheduled general membership meeting on March 22. Your union will also be opening a space for informal discussion on Flex Day, March 1st.

The CCSF Revenue Unity Coalition Met w/ Mayor Breed Last Friday
Last Friday afternoon, members of the CCSF Revenue Unity Coalition–including AFT 2121, SEIU 1021, the San Francisco Building Trades, & Local 39–met with Mayor Breed and members of her staff.
In this historic meeting we presented the coalition’s Executive Summary and plan to bring tens of millions in sustainable and dedicated funding to the college. As we made our presentation, the mayor listened intently to what we shared, asked relevant questions, and suggested other constituents she’d like to see brought into the conversation, specifically SFUSD. And while she was not without critiques or concerns about City College, many of her comments touched on the same issues we are trying to address with our revenue efforts.
Overall, this was an encouraging first meeting, and the start of a long overdue open dialogue between the mayor’s office and the stakeholders of City College. We are already in the process of providing her office with supporting documents and setting up our next meeting.
As you know from experience, the fight for City College is only going to work if all hands are on deck, so come to your Emergency General Membership Meeting this Wednesday, March 2, from 2-3pm, to hear about your next steps in the campaign to protect and grow back our college.
